An 18th century French cast iron fireback featuring a highly detailed biblical narrative bas relief. The central scene depicts the biblical story of Susanna and the Elders from the book of Daniel.

The casting features a shaped, scrolling arched crest at the top centered around a hand-carved grotesque mask motif. Historically placed against the back wall of a fireplace to absorb heat from the fire and radiate it back into a room while protecting the structural brickwork. Notice the crack from the bottom left of center. Circa 1770-1890.
